I’m using the connection without other devices connected, I’ve tried both cabled and wifi. Doesn’t change. But I repeat, before the update even with the basic adsl it was fine the streaming of the textures, now buildings look like carton boxes.

I have 600mpbs internet connection and have terrible photogrammetry. I can see from task manager that the sim is not using my network as it should. Very low data usage even in very crowded photogrammetry areas. There’s definitely a need of optimization in this matter. Server problem or whatever…

“Terrible” is pretty subjective. What you would need to say is “This PG here is good, but this PG is terrible”
In effect what are your expectations of it, and cite the best you can think of.
I always thought Venice was well done. The building shapes probably help.
Where is that exactly? I’d like to replicate.
Looks like a Battlefield…

Oh my eyes! I’ve never seen it anything like that bad anywhere.
have you tried resetting your rolling/manual cache files?

I get “Low Bandwidth” errors on a 1GB fiber (Lan wired to the modem) often, so has to be a server issue. And not really sure if a DSL 12mb connection is going to give great results as there are tons of polygons to decode.
Do we know what is the current state of Manual Cache? Last I tried it didnt work too well.
I wouldnt mind downloading the usual area I fly over so I dont have to deal with triangles.

Dont know why but the entire sections of those settings, is greyed so in can’t manage them. Anyway I’ve deleted the game è reinstalled 8t, but nothing changed.
Yeah I agree, but the problem is that was very good before the update, even with my poor 12 mb! Maybe is just a server issue.
I don’t know why the sim can’t load the proper photogrammetry into a cache before the flight starts. Then just stream all the other stuff. That would make the most sense.
As it sits the cache seems useless.

I often wonder how fast the download of information is when flying, as when downloading updates in the Content Manager has everyone noticed the download speed is measured in Mbits/s (bits), not MB/s (bytes). 1 Mbits/s speed is 8 times slower than 1 Mbytes/s speed. So, when I see my download speed hitting 90 Mbits/s in Content Manager, that is 11.25 MB/s in download speed. My Spectrum connection is 200 MB/s download speed, so I’m not even getting close to my download speed cap.
Are the Microsoft servers starving users for data while flying?

You have a good point there. That might explain low network usage while downloading the photogrammetry.

My Spectrum download speed is 200 megaBITS/sec. Is your Spectrum really eight times faster than mine? Maybe I’m paying way too much for it.
The sim cannot load the proper photogrammetry into a cache or into the simulation if the proper photogrammetry data does not exist on the servers. I’m very suspicious that much of the photogrammetry data that MS purchased for this sim is substandard, or that the way it was loaded onto the servers results in substandard data. GIGO.
Someone said that at times PG works “fine.” I, personally, have NOT seen that. In many parts of Europe it is always very bad and never “fine,” while the PG in cities around North America is simultaneously very good, and the data for both areas comes to me from the same server at the same speed. And it is consistently great around the area where I reside without enabling a rolling cache at all.
I just cannot buy the idea that the problem is overloaded or inadequate servers.

I am also used to internet speeds being in Mbit/s, so if you really have 200MB/s (1,600Mbit/s) that would make me extremely jealous. The best my provider offers is 1,000Mbit/s, but that’s not available in my part of town yet, so I have to “make do” with less (which still is plenty)
BTW. Has been said before but just to make sure we are all on the same page.
Mbps = Mbit/s (Megabits per second)
MBps = MB/s = Mbyte/s (Megabytes per second)
1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s
Easy to mix those up…

Yes, that could be. Is there one specific spot that you could take some shots and I will do the same, then we can compare.
I’ve flown around Europe/UK and it seems much better than previously back in older updates. The last few have been good for me but I might be in the wrong spots.
Well I’m getting that hideous photogrammetry and my speeds are about 950 mbps and sometimes over a full gig!
